3D-2D silhouette-based image registration for comparative radiography-based forensic identification

作者:

Highlights:

• 2D radiographs and 3D scans of any bone or cavity are automatically superimposed.

• The method considers up to 7 degrees of freedom and occlusions.

• The method has been validated with synthetic and real data.

• The mean overlapping error on synthetic cases is lower than the 2% of the pixels.

• Real frontal sinuses cases are correctly identified in the 58% of the experiments.
